WUV Firm Attorneys
Wes Villanueva, Esq. is a Co-founder of WUV Law Firm. Wes has lived in Nevada his whole life and understands that “The Silver State'' is more than just a tourist destination – it’s home to a diverse many. After spending five years in the Reno and Carson area to attend the University of Nevada - Reno, Wes is acquainted with the small town feel Northern Nevada’s cities have to offer. Wes knows the needs of Las Vegas from its economic breakdown to the roles expansion and growth play in the city, and especially law and its history in Nevada. His decision to attend law school locally as one of the first classes at the William S. Boyd School of Law stemmed from his desire to support his city and its continued growth.
Wes’ career and legal experience spans all the courts in the Nevada Court System. He has spent a significant part of his career representing credit card companies, big banks, servicers of student loans, and a myriad of creditors and debt buyers. Throughout his experiences, a glaring gap became apparent: Nevada residents continuously face challenges in finding affordable and accessible representation to assist with their debt issues. Due to these challenges and the ever shifting economy, Wes is committed to assisting anyone who finds themselves struggling to handle the debt and credit cycle that often feels hopeless and endless. Having filed over 250,000 lawsuits over a period of 18 years in the collection industry, Wes, without exception, understands how to navigate the debt collection industry and is determined to put that knowledge and experience to work for his clients.
